Branson View RV Park

Go to http://www.rvparkreviews.com/regions/Missouri/Branson.html and look at reviews. Camper review will probably tell a lot about management and work load.

Thanks Ken. We checked that out. The park has new owners, so hard to say right now...

So it's official... We accepted the workamping job at Branson View Campground. We've learned a few things. The park is in receivership and they want us to manage all the day to day operations and get things back up and running while that is the case. In addition to dealing with the guests we will be making sure prospective buyers see the park at it's best. Should be interesting...

We know this is likely to be a lot of work for the money, but we both like the idea of not having much in the way of day to day supervision and also being able to make a difference in how a park is operating. We figure it will give us great experience for future assignments as we will pretty much have done it all when it comes to running a campground!

Oh, we'll also be hiring another workamping couple once we get there so we can have a day or two off, so if you know someone who would like to be in the Branson area, send me a message!

According to the national news the City of Branson had a little trouble with the recent tornados. Did the RV park suffer any damage?

Ckerr · RV-Dreams Family Member

Looking at the map of damage, no. But we're waiting on official word from the management company. If it did it will just mean our job got bigger to get the park ready for visitors by April 1!

Congratulations on the job, Carol. Sounds like a big job, but I'm sure you guys can handle it. We're officially hired at Amazon for around mid-October and will be staying at Big Chief again.

We arrived here March 23rd and have been swamped getting the park back in shape and systems in place. Wanted to let you all know we now have a website up and running. It's a work in progress, but at least you can see where we are at and what the rates are... www.bransonviewcampground.blogspot.com

Things are starting to pick up some now that the weather is getting nicer. It's good we didn't have a ton of guests the first couple of weeks. Kevin cleared out a couple of years worth of fallen leaves and got the water/sewer working (no small task). I've been bringing the office operations into the current century. So far I've installed a new computer system, Campground Master (to replace the slips of paper that previously served as the reservation system) updated Passport America, revised the rates, got us an email and a functioning (if basic) website.

We sure are learning a lot!
